Hi everybody,
I'm a newbie.
I tried to root my phone but just can not flash superu.
I flash TWRP ( 2.5.0.0) via ODIN sucessfully with a green Pass . Reboot phone to recovery and Hit System and TWRP asked me to swipe if i want to root my phone. I did and my phone reboot after some action performed by TWRP.
I checked with root check basic and it said Root access is not properly installed on this device. I tried to run TWRP manager apk. It said to run the apk phone need rooted. So I know the phone has not been rooted.
I did the following to see if I can correct the problem.
1)Reboot to TWRP recovery and flash CWM_Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox zip file. No success.
2) flash another zip: su-3.0.5-efgh-signed. No sucess.
3) flash another zip: Update superU-1.51 : No success.
4) Flash ClockworkMod Touch Recovery 6.0.2.8 then try to run Install zip on SD card but CWTR return with an error "can not mount sd card "
Please help so I can root my phone. Thanks.

Solution:
I found a SU file that work at this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ginner-trying-to-root-flash-rom-t989-t2832408
I've read the guide and these are the steps I will follow, someone please confirm if I am on the right track.
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Flash TWRP recovery:
here's some confusion. Now that there's systemless root the post says to select read only. But it also mentions that if we boot into android the recovery will be lost and we will need to flash again. am I correct?
3) format data via twrp to disable encryption
4) flash systemless root supersu file
5) select wipe cache/ dalvik
6) reboot into system
7) put rom zip and gapps zip on sdcard
8) go back to recovery and flash rom , and gapps.
some questions.
I will be flashing pure nexus so it wont be necessary to flash super su. right?
what's the deal with systemless root ? I do understand that marshmallow needs modified boot images for root and newer super su patches the boot image. But cant there be simply modified boot images that we can flash via fastboot.
Any precautions I need to take?
or should I simply use wugfresh toolkit?

Download Latest SP Flash Tool: click here
NOTE: IF YOU ARE USING THIS FOR CUSTOM ROM THEN UNTICK THE BOOT.img IN SPFLASH TOOL WHILE FLASHING THE TWRP OTHERWISE YOUR DEVICE COULD BE IN BOOT LOOP STATE. (FLASH STOCK ROM TO FIX)
FOR STOCK ROM NO NEED TO UNCHECK
Yeah! ☺ Will be trying it later. Thanks for the link.
What about 'CWM Recovery' ?
If one succeeds with this TWRP and rooting, then I think one can change TWRP to CWM using flashify or Rashr, provided he/she should confirm that the 'CWM Recovery' will work on Lenovo A 7000 a with android 6.0 OS. But I do not know if the 'CWM' recovery thatwas used earlier when we were on android 5.0, will still work with android 6.0 or not. Can anybody confirm?
this is working men thanks:angel:

Use the stock rom found here to go back to factory settings using the stock marshmallow rom. Make sure that you flash using SP Flash Tool as instructed in the link. This will replace TWRP with stock recovery.
Afterwards, you can reinstall TWRP and root,etc.

I think you have copied the SuperSU-v71.zip in external storage and in TWRP you are searching in internal storage.If it is so the paste it in internal or change storage selection at the time of installing zip.
And paste the zip in root of the storage not in any folder.
As i can see this is your 1st post.
I think this will help you.

love you all
You need to download the latest twrp for the Z2F/Nash from the TWRP site. One of the files is the twrp installer, which should be moved to your z2's sdcard. The img file stays on a PC.
Before you do anything, the Android platform tools should be present. Or you can instead install minimal adb/fastboot from XDA. Once you boot twrp you have to format data and type yes, so the rom and other files should be on an SD card. Alternatively, one may opt for adb sideload.
1.Flash LOS. Without rebooting, flash the twrp installer otherwise it won't stick.
2.Reboot recovery and flash gapps, then reboot recovery again
3. Reboot system
